So completing missions for the Unseen is mentioned but I can't find the missions in the supplement. Where are they?

How well will this mesh with the actual Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Campaign? Are there elements which will return throughout the campaign or is it just a chunk of content you do and then move on?

I'm not 100% sure what the question is, but this introduces a new villain you can use in DH. The villain has a lair, an encounter chain, and information presented just like the other four villain options in Dragon Heist. I hope that helps. If not, let me know what else you'd like to know.

Will this be allowed for Adventurer's League play in the future?

It is under review at the moment. The decision does not lie with me and there's a chance it may not, given the fact that this supplement touches on some lore no one else has yet. The AL may want to leave Hlaavin and the Unseen untouched for now for one of many reasons.

Yes! The new ALCC was just released and this is listed.

Is there any chance this will be released for Fantasy Grounds? If not... I'd probably be willing to port the pdf to a module.

At the moment there are no plans for an FG version. Thanks for the offer!

I think this is a good add-on to waterdeep:dragon heist. I ran the hardcover recently and used this as my villian choice. Several of my players had run the hardcover previously, so they were suprised when the villain was revealed. I do wish this had a [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
